I crack up over the stupidest things,
anatomical words that little boys
would laugh at, scatology etc.
Normally I never find humor in life
Most of the time I am found
in my head thinking, trying to fill
Thanks must come within
It cannot be beaten into the head
with a dishtowel having the
words have gratitude sown
into it
Thanks comes with
remembering the place
of God in the human
experience.
I cry I weep
I dont sleep
Night all alone
Hiding in my phone
Where am i
Where did i go
Do i run from myself
Wont i leave me alone
I am lost
It is dark
Will i come back
you are newfound confidence,
in a mind so lost and confused
your influence is bottomless,
in expression you are used.
without you i wilt, like a flower in the heat
Remember when I was born?
Remember when we went to Las Vegas?
Remember when we went to Chicago,
Early and late this past school year,
I could not say why life was good.
Until summer came, as it should,
And brought with it purpose and cheer!
A summer course for those like me,
To my best friend.
When we met it was the 15th day of 3rd grade
I sat alone in the corner like I always had
But this time, you were there with someone
There are many people
Each holding many things dear
However,
among them all,
There is always one thing,
recognized or not,
That no one lives without
What does everyone have
I touched my neck and I realized
I forgot how it felt to be bound locked in chains
even in my mind I stopped the pain
I'm not the same I made an exchange a heavy yoke for a prayer life
My viewers are facing
What they know they see,
They say they see,
They think they see.
But it's just the casing
I know they see,
I would say they see.
I look at you,
And all I feel is disgust.
You mock me,
Capturing me in your everlasting frust-stration.
I look at you,
You mentally batter and abuse.
Do you enjoy it?
I will be whoever the fuck I want.
Let me repeat that.
I, Faith Rider, will be, whoever, whatever, the fuck I want.
Everyone is putting themselves in boxes,
"I'm straight!."
"I'm Gay!"
"I'm Bi!"
Reflective in nostalgic reflections of mere eidetic copies of what once was while; deaf to the loud silence of the world with the blinded walking in the mouths of them who bare no words. Left adrift in presences absence filled with foreign words m
Dying White Rose
A beautiful white rose
with petals so bright.
She clings to the ground
hoping for life.
She's short of air;
She can not breathe;
Dear Soldier Man
Thank you for doing all you can
Dear Soldier man
The way you've dedicated your life, you've gained a fan
Dear Soldier Woman
I appreciate your bravery! So I salute you
I don't understand
This violence
It sickens me
To be cruel is so easy
Yet to be kind is so difficult.
I find this hard to believe.
Although to look on the outside
To believe, is so difficult.
If I am to be one thing,
let me be transparent.
No, not to fade off this earth.
Let me reveal the dreams I nurture within me.
Let my past be exposed.
Let my inspirations and drives
radiate through me—
After weeks of preparation, finally planned perfection
Invincibility was overwhelming, irrational though it was
The plan
Escape.
The destination
Anywhere but here.
